1969 Opel GT GT

1969 OPEL GT with 1.9 liter ( 102Hp) engine / 4 speed manual transmission Car runs well, is mechanically sound, almost completely stock, and rust-free. 93,000 miles indicated, Total mileage unknown $23,000 (Cash only, no trades) This almost completely stock 1969 Opel GT is finished in Cardinal Red over black vinyl upholstery and powered by a 1.9-liter inline four-cylinder engine producing 102 HP, paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes steel 13” wheels, power-assisted front disc brakes, retractable headlights, quad polished exhaust outlets, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, high-back bucket seats, lap and shoulder belts, and a factory AM radio. This Opel GT is now offered with extensive purchase receipts, manufacturer’s literature, and a clean Ohio title in the seller’s name. This example features a chrome-finished wraparound front bumper and split rear bumperettes as well as unique side-rotating headlights, a vented hood, left and right side-view mirror,, and quad Monza exhaust outlets with polished finishers. The car was repainted in 2022. The stock bucket seats are upholstered in black vinyl with pleated basketweave inserts. Black carpeted floor mats with red piping lines. Additional appointments include replacement carpeting, a leather finished console surrounding the shifter, lap and shoulder belts, hand-crank windows, and a Delco Kadett AM push-button radio. Silver-finished 13″ steel wheels feature bright trim rings and Opel-logo hubcaps and are mounted with 175/70R13 Westlake RP18 tires with a date code of May 2022. Braking is provided by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. The wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation consisting of a 150-mph speedometer and a tachometer. A clock and auxiliary gauges for amperage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level are located atop the center stack. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 93k miles, but total mileage is unknown. The cam-in-head 1.9L inline-four is fed by a single downdraft Weber carburetor, replacing the stock Solex carb for improved reliability. The stock distributor points are replaced by a Pertronics electronic ignition and coil. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
